As necessary, the zone can be regularly updated with paper flaps, without performing general repairs.
If this was not done on time or the kid broke the boundaries of the allotted space, do not rush to update the walls. First you need to try effective folk methods of wallpaper rescue, able to remove unwanted dirt without traces, without leading to damage to products.
How quickly and without traces to remove traces of ink from the vinyl surface?
If desired, with vinyl wallpaper you can wash not only the ball or gel pen, but also the ink of the markers. Depending on the size and prescription of the contamination, as well as the availability of suitable components, you can try one of these options:
- Manganese crystals are bred in a 7% solution of vinegar. A rich purple color should be obtained. Wadding is wetted in liquid and we process the contaminated area. After such cleansing, only stains will remain, which need to be washed with hydrogen peroxide until they have dried.
Tip: If the marks from the handle are thin and few, the exposure should be local and accurate. To do this, the brushes for drawing the appropriate diameter are best.
- In 100 ml of cool water, dilute 10 grams of oxalic and citric acid, stir well until the crystals dissolve completely. The product is applied to the sponge and with blotting movements we process the stain on the wallpaper surface until it completely disappears.
- Extremely resistant handle needs to be treated with hydrochloric acid. To do this, mix a teaspoon of small table salt with a tablespoon of hydrochloric acid and dilute the resulting composition in a glass of water. We put the product on the contamination, wait until the stain completely dissolves, we erase the remnants of the product with a wet graft.
- In some cases, the solution from the dishwashing detergent helps. Two teaspoons of the product is bred in half a glass of water, stir, but do not foam and use to wipe the dirt off the wallpaper.
- Boil a hard-boiled egg, cut it into two halves and attach it to the problem zone. We wait until the product absorbs the handle, after which we treat the area with a damp cloth.
- Not bad with traces of ink on vinyl copes melamine sponge, but it must be completely new. However, with its help you can wipe only fresh tracks on the wallpaper surface.
- Traces of the gel pen can be washed with lemon juice. We moisten the gauze cloth and make traces, moving in one direction. The material must be constantly changed and refreshed.
- With white or very light monochrome walls, ink without traces is output by whiteness. A tablespoon of the product is bred in half a glass of warm water. The sponge is wetted in the composition, we put it on the wall with soaking movements and wait until the problematic divorce disappears. Washing the product is not necessary!
- Minor contaminants can be removed easily with a lacquer without acetone. This approach will relieve not only ink and gel, but also a marker or a marker, provided that the spots are fresh.
If one approach does not help, you do not need to immediately move on to another. First you need to wait until the wallpaper dries completely, otherwise it will be possible to wipe off not only the pen, but the paper base itself.
Non-standard universal options for removing ink from the wallpaper
If the wallpaper for painting needs to be simply updated with a fresh layer of dye, then in the case of paper and laminated products everything is slightly more complicated. To completely remove the pen, experienced parents and experts suggest testing one of the following methods:
- Take the iron, heat it to a very warm, almost hot state. The steam supply function must be switched off. Apply a sheet of white paper to the dirty surface of the wallpaper and iron it. Ink should go to the substrate, most importantly, do not over-rest the iron, it is better to act gradually.
- Fatty ballpoint pen that does not leave deep grooves in the material, sometimes it turns out to be erased with an eraser. If you act too actively, then a spot of light may appear on the spot.
- White wallpaper will help to wash toothpaste without additives and dyes. We put the composition on the brush, wipe the stain, remove the remnants of the product with a tissue napkin.
- Mix starch with cool water in equal proportions and stir until smooth. Kashitsu put on the handle, leave it to dry. The resulting crust is wiped off the wallpaper with a dry cloth.
- A small ink spot on a light surface will help wash the shaving foam. Shake the can, spray foam on the palm, brush or a cotton disc, apply the product to the contamination and leave to dry. Remains of mass with traces of ink are removed with a soft cloth.
- For soft removal of fresh stains, the bread pulp is useful. We knead it in hands, press it against the spot and act so until the product absorbs all the marks of the handle.
Only if the above methods do not give the expected result it is worthwhile to think about cosmetic repair of a particular site or gluing all the wallpaper in the room.
